Chapter on Tayammum and Its Rules

فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعُبَيْدِيِّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُجْنِبُ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ فَلاَ يَجِدُ إِلاَّ اَلثَّلْجَ أَوْ مَاءً جَامِداً قَالَ« هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلضَّرُورَةِ يَتَيَمَّمُ وَ لاَ أَرَى أَنْ يَعُودَ إِلَى هَذِهِ اَلْأَرْضِ اَلَّتِي تُوبِقُ دِينَهُ».
As for what was narrated by Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahboub, from Al-`Ubaydi, from Hammad ibn Isa, from Hariz, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who becomes junub during travel and finds nothing but snow or frozen water. Imam عليه السلام said: "It is considered a state of necessity; he should perform tayammum. However, I do not advise him to return to this land that endangers his religion."
